Meghan Markle is always clad in stylish ensembles when she leaves her Montecito, California home, and we’ve mostly resigned to the fact that emulating her ’fits will cost a high percentage of our paychecks.

Luxury is often associated with unattainability—high cost, utmost quality, and opulence. What if it didn’t have to be quite so impossible to achieve?
